that carpet is glued with carpet glue sold in any auto store. Unfortunately the aftermarket carpet sold these days is junk IMO. Even buying from Wilcox, Mid America, and others. If your car sits out much, the carpet will fade in places withing 2-3 yrs

when you buy carpet, everything else being the same, try and buy from a forum vendor.. they pay for our time spent here. They support us, we should support them.
